Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"Holy..."

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The discussion makes it fairly clear that the subject has substantive coverage, and as such is notable. The question of whether or not to have a standalone page is therefore better sorted out at a merge discussion. Please note that "not notable" carries absolutely no weight as an argument without further substantiation. Vanamonde (talk) 18:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 22:08, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This subject is world famous and it should be easy to find sources if someone put in the effort.★Trekker (talk) 22:21, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ Keep or merge to Robin (comics) or Robin in other media. While the sourcing provided some interesting info, especially with the impact of the phrasing, I'm not confident that this merits a solo article. If better sources are found, I would support keeping it. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 02:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Holy keep !votes, Batman - there are plenty of sources if you look in the right place, and the nomination rationale is a classic argument to avoid. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:18, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Holy history Batman! This type of phrase has a past even before you and me.[1] StrayBolt (talk) 16:01, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - this was moved from List of exclamations by Robin in December 2017 without discussion. It was previously nominated at AfD in 2013. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:14, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Holy cow (expression) has much of the general usage. Added a "See also" hat. StrayBolt (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Holy Keep . a great shame the list can longer be reliably sourced. I think notable examples should certainly be preserved. Holy Astringent Plum-like Fruit, Holy Priceless Collection of Etruscan Snoods and Holy Uncanny Photographic Mental Processes spring to mind, obviously.

Keep per WP:JNN. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As trivial fancruft. Make a short mention at the TV series and then put examples of the snowclone in an appendix at Wiktionary. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:04, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the page merely contains fancruft and Holy cow (expression) has much of the general usage._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 07:51, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article possess enough notability as it is simply related to Batman series and has reliable sources to verify the content in the article. Abishe (talk) 08:20, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Holy cow (expression). Two fairly short articles would be better as one longer one. Bondegezou (talk) 14:52, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
